走私燕窝成行业潜规则 广州同种燕窝价差7千

新快报记者 邱春燕

　　近日，海关总署缉私局督办查明一起涉及全国的燕窝走私案，据称该案涉及金额7亿多元，范围涉及全国15个省40个市县，波及香港及内地560余家燕窝商行。

　　虽然目前并无确切资料显示此案涉及广东市场范围有多广，但记者上周走访广州燕窝市场发现，在广州某燕窝集结销售市场，大量燕窝都没有产地1大的及进口检验检疫证明，燕窝销售极不规范。此外，广州所售品牌燕窝与非品牌燕窝价格相差巨大，有些燕窝差价竟高达7000元/斤。

　　海关曾查燕窝走私逾7亿

　　自古以来，燕窝在中国就是珍贵的佳肴，也用作名贵药材。随着时代的进步，现代人越来越重视以“食补”来滋补健体和美容养颜，燕窝也因此成为消费者追逐的名贵补品。不过，因其取材天然，燕窝的形成受气候、环境等多方面自然条件约束，中国仅海南地区有少量出产，多数燕窝均产自印尼、泰国、越南、马来西亚等国，其中印尼的燕窝产量约占全世界产量的80％。国内不少走私分子由此看到了利润空间，开始以不正当的手段私自将国外燕窝运至国内。

　　早前，海关总署缉私局与最高人民检察院、最高人民法院联合查办了一起涉案7亿多元的燕窝走私案。据深圳媒体报道，这起走私案最早由深圳海关缉私局获得线索，由此牵出一个家族式“水客”走私集团。据该报道，该走私犯罪团伙自2007年3月至案发，仅一年时间共计走私进口燕窝5.6万斤，涉案案值7 亿元，偷逃应缴税款2.26亿元，涉及“水客”200余名。此案也由此成为全国海关查办的最大一起燕窝走私案。

　　据媒体报道，深圳海关缉私局的有关人士表示，该案共涉及境内外560余家燕窝商行，其中香港商行80余家，国内商行480余家，遍布全国15个省40个市县，具有十分明显的行业性走私特征。

　　大量燕窝无产地和批号

　　虽然媒体报道并未具体涉及到广州燕窝市场，但记者近日走访广州燕窝市场，发现大量存在产地不明、无产品批号的现象，使得这些燕窝的来源也令人生疑。记者上周走访了广州市一德路干货市场十余家贸易商行，但仅有一家商行所售卖的燕窝有正规包装，且包装上有注明产品产自新加坡，具体生产公司是哪家，以及进口商的具体地址和联系方式。

　　至于其它贸易商行所销售的燕窝产品，多数均用透明胶带包装或玻璃瓶罐装，消费者的购买方式也均为按斤两散装购买。虽然没有标明燕窝产地，但这些贸易商行均一致表示，销售的燕窝是从马来西亚、泰国等地区进口而来。当记者以消费者身份询问，产品没有正规包装，就无法知晓是否真为进口燕窝时，有贸易商行老板直言：“要是有正规包装，就不是这个价了！”

　　不过，这些没有正规包装的燕窝产品和有包装的燕窝一样，价格同样高企。“高价”是否就能保证同样“高质”？记者在暗访的过程中发现，有不少贸易商自己对燕窝的品质及产地都不甚了解。一名品牌燕窝的经营商告诉记者，燕窝按做窝的环境可分为：洞燕、屋燕两大类，其中洞燕产地以泰国、越南、马来西亚为主，因矿物质含量高而价格略高，屋燕则以印尼为主要产地，价格相对低些。

　　但记者在采访时发现，一德路有一家贸易商行所出售号称来自泰国的金丝燕窝，售价为3400元/斤，同时也出售印尼燕窝，每斤价格却在5000元以上。当记者问及价格为何有此差异，商行老板解释称，印尼燕窝产量较大，是著名的燕窝产地，因此价格相对较高。

　　同种燕窝价差数千元

　　这位贸易商行老板的说法显然没有得到更多同业者的认同。记者在接下来的采访中发现，同样是在一德路上经营的干货贸易商行就有不同的说法。另一名贸易商行老板即表示，一般来说，泰国出产的燕窝价格会高过印尼的，一德路干货市场上的进口燕窝大多来自印尼。这一说法也得到了其他燕窝经销商的认同。

　　这些还只是不同区域所产燕窝的大体价格比较，涉及到燕窝的具体价格，也出现了同类产品价差颇大的现象。有的经销商表示，即使是碎燕窝，价格也绝对不止3400元/斤，更不用说盏形完整的金丝燕窝了。而记者咨询多家贸易商行的金丝燕窝后发现，价格相差巨大，其中以每斤5000元左右的居多，价格在 6000—8000元/斤的相对略少。

　　记者同时还参考了香港品牌燕窝“盏记燕窝”和“楼上燕窝庄”的价格，发现以斤为单位计金丝燕窝价格均在万元以上。楼上燕窝庄的一名销售人员告诉记者，一般来说，因关税原因，香港地区的燕窝已经到了比较便宜的价位，价格约比内地同等燕窝要少10％—15％。即使在香港，金丝燕窝的价格最低也在 8000—9000元左右。

　　为何广州市场上众多无品牌的燕窝价格都标价每斤5000元左右？“虽然燕窝可能会因产品盏形、密度不同有价差，但大体上价格不会差太大。”据一位不愿具名的业内人士分析，燕窝的进口关税率为25％，进口环节增值税率为17％，综合税率高达46.25％，但香港税率较国内低，如果国内市场的燕窝低于香港的价格，若非产品有作假成分，最大的可能性就是走私。

What is 100% Pure Bird's Nest?

Dear Friends,


Do you know what is 100% Pure Bird's Nest?

Last week i was referred by Dr Yahasmidah to a company who involved in birdnest cleaning process in Sungai Buluh,Selangor. I visited and checked the process of cleaning methods; I found the process as normal as others birdnest cleaning process plants i.e they are processing genuine white bird's nests. They try hard to maintain the original shape of the nests and forgo the purity of the nests. They left many fine feathers behind the nests. Feathers were containing arsenics. It made the birdnest unpure.

I was told another major issue of the rejection was the total plate count. What is this? It means when counting the bacteria, it exceeded the limits. Why total plate coount? The process is mean for export purposes. Just to prove goods export is free from bacteria and viruses.

Procedure conducting the the is as follow: Take samples about 25 grams, together with Borang MVKJB/KAV01 and send to Veterinary Department for E coli count,Coliform count,Salmonella sp count and Staph. aureus count...Heatlth Certificate will be given upon satisfaction results.

I was told the tests failed 5 out of 5 times sampling tests. What is the issues then?

Yes, they are one of the ignorant processors who learned the technology from unqualifed masters. They were taught to remove feathers and keep the shape of nest as original as possible,so as to look nice. But what about hygenic factors? They ignored the presence of bacterias and viruses, heavy metals,contaminants...

Further to my investigations, some samples tested by Permulab Sdn Bhd shown that, the protein level dropped from 57.4% to 3.02 %. What has happened? The result shown a sharp drop of protein...why? Further investigation shown the use of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 as bleaching agents. It bleached away amino acids,good minerals, epidermic growth factors,antioxidants,etc...?? Modern Swiflet nest Processors are advised not to use any chemicals in the processing. It served no purpose.

I was told the buyers from Hong Kong ask local processors to spray about 250gram of water to 750 gram of nests justto facilitate easy packaging. But this unhygenic practices create a good environment for yeast and molds growth. If yeast and mold grown, then Boric Acids, Potasssium Sulphide,Sodium benzote,and others preservatives were used. This preservatives if consumed daily will hardened our liver and caused cancer. So, do you know why 100% purity of birdnest is important?

Conclusion for 100% Pure Bird Nest:

1. Pure heart: (always put consumers health at priority.)
2. Free from bleaching agent:(soluble amino acids, minerals... will retained)
3. Free from preservatives:(prevent cancer of liver...)
4. No additives added: (to provide pure birdnest)
5. Test for bacteria and virus counts
6. Moisture content should be less than 10%
7. Free from feathers,and other contaminants and heavy metals like mercury, lead,arsenic,chromium,ferrous(ferric),cadmium etc...

Good Luck

Edible Bird's Nest Inhibit Influenza

Dear Friends,

Good news, another research shown that edible bird nest inhibit influenza. Please read article extracted from journals.

"A very good and confirmed research article by reknown international medical authority on the EBN's health value. Recommended to be included in the report for the presentation papers to cabinet.

Edible bird's nest extract inhibits influenza virus infection.

Edible bird's nest (EBN) is the nest of the swift that is made from its saliva. Although EBN has been widely used for enhancing immunocompetence, its antiviral efficacy has not been studied in detail. We found that EBN extract could strongly inhibit infection with influenza viruses in a host range-independent manner when it was hydrolyzed with Pancreatin F. Western blotting assay showed that the EBN extract bound to influenza virus. Furthermore, EBN extract could neutralize the infection of MDCK cells with influenza viruses and inhibit hemagglutination of influenza viruses to erythrocytes, but it could not inhibit the activity of influenza virus sialidase. Fluorometric HPLC indicated that the major molecular species of sialic acid in EBN is N-acetylneuraminic acid. The results suggest that EBN is a safe and valid natural source for the prevention of influenza viruses
